Sanctuary of the Soul: Journey into Meditative Prayer

At the very heart of God is the passionate disposition to be in loving fellowship with you. From the human side of this equation it is meditative prayer that ushers us into this divine-human fellowship. Richard Foster, best-selling author and founder of Renovare, writes these words as one who has experienced what they describe. And in this new book he will beautifully guide you in this transformational way, that you might come to know deeper fellowship with God.

I have read several books by this author and this one did not hold my interest at all. In fact I did not bother to finish it -- same old, same old. Normally I cannot put Foster's work down because it is so thought-provoking. Can't win them all.

Cause of Death

On a quiet day, away from the hustle of Richmond, in a small cottage on the Virginia coast, Dr. Kay Scarpetta receives a disturbing phone call from the Chesapeake police. Thirty feet deep in the murky waters of Virginia's Elizabeth River, a scuba diver's body is discovered near the Inactive Naval Shipyard.

I know that sounds like an odd title for any Cornwell book. This one is so intriguing on so many levels. Whose cause of death is Scarpetta going to discover next? The story moves from one tragic and ugly scene to another keeping the reader guessing and then getting things all figured out only to come to the next twist in the road. That's why reading PC"s novels is always a pleasure.

The Body Farm: A Scarpetta Novel

Short on time to find evidence proving the killer’s identity, Stephanie faces further complications when her family and friends decide that it’s time for her to choose between her longtime off-again-on-again boyfriend and the other bad boy in her life....

Don't Blink

New York's Lombardo's Steak House is famous for three reasons--the menu, the clientele, and now, the gruesome murder of an infamous mob lawyer. Seated at a nearby table, reporter Nick Daniels is conducting a once-in-a-lifetime interview with a legendary baseball bad-boy. Shocked and shaken, he doesn't realize that he's accidentally captured a key piece of evidence. Ensnared in the city's most sensational crime in years, Nick investigates for a story of his own.

I like a book that does that -- keep you guessing all along the way. I think the title was perfect -- don't blink when you read this or you may miss something. Not the Patterson characters I am used to so it took awhile to find some affinity. Worth the effort.

This national best seller is an entertaining, informative, and sometimes shocking expose of the way history is taught to American students. Lies My Teacher Told Me won the American Book Award and the Oliver Cromwell Cox Award for Distinguished Anti-Racist Scholarship.

An Eye-Opener for my generation -- the 60-somethings -- we were raised on the traditional redacted history books of the public school system. Even though modern times opened our eyes to many things through assassinations and wars and political struggles, we never imagined history the way it really was. Yes, it does go on and on, but this book is well worth the read. I couldn't stop talking about it with my family. I feel as though I only absorbed 1/4 of what was new to me. Thank you James W Loewen!
